Three rising stars of the Southern blues scene cook up a blend of funky, grooving, get-you-moving Delta blues, Memphis soul and boogie woogie as Southern Hospitality: Bradenton-Tampa Bay area slide guitar whiz Damon Fowler; Boca Raton-based JP Soars, another string-sliding axeman whose gear includes a homemade two-stringed cigar box Diddley bow; and Memphis keys-banger Victor Wainwright. All three can howl or croon, lead or offer support, and are backed by bassist Chuck Riley and drummer Chris Pete for their Friday and Saturday night Palladium performances.
